    Tbh, didn’t click into either of your links here, but enough to state the following…


    Gonna leave this here. [“I’m a professional liar, and you, personally, are stupid for listening to anything I say”]

    Tangentially, the same author, [“Buy my book, I’m now going to tell you the truth”]

      The second book is about how the news cycle is broken. A lot about write-first, verify later. Or manufactured outrage. Or straight up falsehoods.

      It’s a good book, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

      The first book is almost a specific case of it…Hulk Hogans sex tape scandal, and the people who bankrolled his lawsuit against Gawker because of a completely unrelated personal grudge.
